  2. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    They require us to take a basic dosage test BEFORE being admitted to the program now....no IV or peds or anything, pretty straight-forward, but I think they had so many people getting in and not being...

  3. Friends are frustrating me..Anyone in same situation?

    WDWpixieRN replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

    I see you're young, and with having young kids myself, I know that priorities can vary VASTLY. That could be part of it.... That being said, I'm taking "only" 6 units as I completed all my prereqs and...

    WDWpixieRN replied to paper1225's topic in General Nursing

  6. OH NO! I can't believe this is happening!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to LaceyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations....I'm glad it all worked out. It does seem crazy the way they require all of these transcripts...I attended a vocational school in CA (court reporting) that has no transferrable...

  7. Is it really THAT bad?

    WDWpixieRN replied to easy4U2say's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard a lot of the same. However it was my best friend from high school (Class of '74) and maid of honor from back then, who suggested I become a nurse when I told her I was looking in to the...

  8. Nursing School Entrance Exam - Who need it?

    WDWpixieRN replied to samantha23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No pre-entrance tests such as those listed required for our college, however we are required to take and pass a 25-point dosage calculations test. I guess they were losing too many in the first...

  9. What does your school do....

    WDWpixieRN replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our CPR certification depended on where we were assigned to clinicals. I figured better to be safe than sorry, so went ahead and signed up through the college's Continuing Ed program for the American...

  10. Getting fat?

    WDWpixieRN replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good heavens, this is my first week of school and I've been so stressed out that food has hardly crossed my mind!! I bet I've lost 10 lbs. since Monday!! But it's good to read this, so perhaps once I...

  11. College Textbook Scams! Please read!

    WDWpixieRN replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of us barely had time to get other supplies together, never mind shopping online....and my school didn't release the booklist with ISBN #s until 2 weeks before school. Hardly time to do the...

  12. Do I need a recorder....

    WDWpixieRN replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought an Olympus that can be downloaded to my PC, but I forgot to ask today if it's okay to use it!! I did see someone else walking around with one taping our tour, so I'm guessing it's going to...

  13. MATH...& I'm scared ...uhhh

    WDWpixieRN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I ran across my high school report card awhile back and saw I had a "D" in algebra my senior year. Either I wasn't paying attention or I didn't care!! And I NEVER considered myself competent in math...

  14. Never thought you'd be a nurse?

    WDWpixieRN replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Not looking back.....

    WDWpixieRN replied to hopeNstar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 50, stayed home and raised kids for many years, and finally finished a BS in MIS '99. I have worked for the past 6 years in IT, and realized very quickly in to that career how much I hated it. I...

  17. Dumb question about buying books online..

    WDWpixieRN replied to JoshuaC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a fact; call or contact your bank to ask. You're so much more at risk with a debit card than using a credit card. The main reason being that if someone gets ahold of this info, you can find...

  18. What medical shows do you watch?

    WDWpixieRN replied to shellsgogreen's topic in General Students

    I have two main addictions to TV....which I really seldom watch -- American Idol & Grey's....I wondered if I would find time to keep up with these during the school year as I start my RN program...

  19. What medical shows do you watch?

    WDWpixieRN replied to shellsgogreen's topic in General Students

    Me, too!!! I can't wait for McDreamy and the Brown-nosers to come back this fall!!!

  20. How soon do you go to get your textbooks??

    WDWpixieRN replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our books and booklist were available on August 1st....I got online, got the ISBNs, did some looking around and realized that for the amount of books we were required to have, it was just easiest at...

  21. What do you call the teachers??

    WDWpixieRN replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got a bachelor's degree in MIS and have completed anything I could outside of the core nursing classes...I can hardly think of a class where an instructor didn't clearly tell us what we could...

  22. Anyone quitting

    WDWpixieRN replied to weytn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Whodey and welcome!! In my area, I understand you either need to be able to attend a 4-week or so orientation to become a patient care tech (or associate or something) or have your 1st semester...

  23. Anyone quitting

    WDWpixieRN replied to weytn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, this is a very true statement for most of us, but unless we have some kind of skill that will allow for well-paying part-time work, minimum wage will be pretty close to what some of us will have...

  24. moving to St. louis, need info

    WDWpixieRN replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    I think there's a lot of relatively safe areas in St. Louis, except perhaps the city itself, and more specifically the north side and E. St. Louis.....I work with a lot of people who live in So. St....

  25. Anyone quitting

    WDWpixieRN replied to weytn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I'm there with you....I actually notified my direct manager over 3 weeks ago that the 11th would be my last day, and while they tried to work something out for me part-time, that didn't come to...
